I have installed kmod-nvidia drivers and have no direct rendering

Quote:

[root@localhost ~]# glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: No

I have an GeForce FX 5200 and im new to linux

Here is my xorg.conf

Quote:

# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display

Does anyone have a solution? I have already tried reinstalling the kmod drivers.
Thanks in advance

Hello:
Try changing

Quote:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nv"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
EndSection

to

PHP Code:


			
Section "Device"

Identifier "Videocard0"

Driver "nvidia"

Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"

EndSection

Save, exit and Ctrl Alt Backspace to restart your Xserver and give it a whirl.

Hello:
First check to make sure you have the nvidia drivers installed, if not then:
yum --enablerepo=livna install kmod-nvidia
then make sure that the Driver "nvidia"
is present in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file

Then reboot or restart your Xserver and see if things have changed.
If not have a look at your /var/log/Xorg.0.log for errors and or warnings that may provide some clues.

I could not see anything wrong with my Xorg.0.log. I have attached it here.

Hello:
Based upon what I see it your Xorg.0.log
try adding the following to your xorg.conf file

PHP Code:


			
Section "Module"

    Load  "fbdevhw"

    Load  "record"

    Load  "freetype"

    Load  "type1"

    Load  "glx"

    Load  "dbe"

    Load  "extmod"

EndSection

and

PHP Code:


			
Section "Extensions"

    Option        "Composite" "Enable"

EndSection
